COPY PASTE INSTRUCTIONS AND TROUBLE SHOOT

Note: most DAWs have a different way to paste. We will update this webpage with more instructions. Check your DAW’s app instructions if a simple ‘tap’ doesn’t work . When your DAW has copy/paste functionality it will work (a.o. Garageband, Auria, Cubasis, Music Studio, Multitrack Daw)!!

GARAGEBAND copy/paste instructions:

NOTE: It is best to set you GB advanced settings to ‘run in background’ for faster switch between apps. With this option GB doesn’t have to start up it’s engine every time, which prevents pasteboard issues! There’s no need to do this if everything works smoothly and fast enough for you.

1. In Drum Loops HD press copy to pasteboard (the button with GB on it) for the loop you want to copy. A popup appears which says the loop is copied to pasteboard

2. Open Garageband, and open new or existing song.

3. Tap your finger on empty field within your song, a ‘paste’ pop-up appears and click paste. A new track will appear with the loop.

4. The loop is 2 or 4 bars (stereo mix) and cut to perfection in its own bpm. To repeat the loop at any length, select the loop by tapping on it, then tap again and a dialog will appear with options (choose ‘loop’ to repeat).

NB: The ‘copied to GB’ loop’s bpm will follow instantly the bpm of your Garageband project (tempo change).
You can also choose to set GB to the proper loop’s bpm first and change it after pasting the loop. This is wise when the bpm of your project is much higher (or lower) than the chosen loop’s bpm.

MUSIC STUDIO copy/paste instructions:

1. In Drum Loops HD press copy to pasteboard (the button with DAW on it) for the loop you want to copy. A popup appears which says the loop is copied to pasteboard

2. Open Music studio

3. Click the tab TRACKS and click + audio (on the left) so a new track appears

6. Check if the source is set to General Pasteboard.wav, otherwise select General Pasteboard.wav Click ok; paste popup appears

7. Press AudioPaste From Pasteboard

8. Give the audio paste a name (this will be the name of the track) and click ok

AURIA copy/paste instructions:

1. In Drum Loops HD press copy to pasteboard (the button with DAW on it) for the loop you want to copy. A popup appears which says the loop is copied to pasteboard

2. Open your Auria project (in the correct BPM), select the track (blue frame appears) or add track you want the loop pasted to and in the Edit menu select AudioPaste. (you can also enter number of iterations)

3. In the pasteboard window that opens press ‘Audiopaste From Pasteboard.

4. You should see the pasted loop appear on your selected track in Auria.

NOTE: If the “audiopaste from pasteboard” popup doesn’t appear and you get redirected to the audiocopy app:

There is a problem with the audiocopy app (it uses Sonoma protocol 2 and has some issues).
If you delete this app, Auria will paste as it is supposed to do from the clipboard.

CUBASIS copy/paste instructions:

1. In Drum Loops HD press copy to pasteboard (the button with DAW on it) for the loop you want to copy. A popup appears which says the loop is copied to pasteboard

2. Open your Cubasis project.

3. Select an audio track

4. In the upper left corner click on ‘media’

5. In the pop up list on the left, select ‘audio’

6. Click in the bottom left corner on ‘import’

7. Two words appear: audiopaste and ipod import, select ‘audio paste’

8. Select ‘Audiopaste From Pasteboard’

9. In the medialist the just pasted ‘general pasteboard wav’ with the current time and date should be selected blue. Dubble click on the name and you’ll find it in your track.

IMPORTANT NOTE:If the “audiopaste from pasteboard” popup doesn’t appear and you get redirected to the audiocopy app:

There is a problem with the audiocopy app (it uses Sonoma protocol 2 and has some issues).
If you delete this app, Auria will paste as it is supposed to do from the clipboard.

TROUBLESHOOT !!

no sound iOS7 and up:

Open Drum Loops HD and set a loop to play (red marker appears). Pick a loop and not a fill, because a fill doesn’t loop!!

1. always check your hardware button first: if it’s switched to red, switch it back while playing a loop!!
2. Slide up the bottom of the screen to open the dock with wifi etc…
3. Check the volume at the left, put it to maximum
4. Check the mute button, it should be black.

Here are two screenshots; the first one with the wrong settings and the second one with the correct ones:
